Grading Policy Information on Grade Content, Calculations and Department’s Policy on Distributions is Available here. Students with Disabilities We have a process at Baruch for determining whether a student who identifies as disabled is eligible for reasonable accommodations in order to complete the student’s academic program. We strive to ensure that no student with a disability is discriminated against and that none is denied participation in College programs and activities for lack of reasonable accommodations. Some people think that a disability has to be visible to be accommodated. This is not the case. There are many disabilities – diabetes, psychological illness, learning disabilities, AIDS, seizure disorders, arthritis, etc., – that require accommodations. Examples of possible accommodations include additional testing time; adaptive equipment; and taping of classes.

If you feel that you may need a reasonable accommodation based on a disability, lease contact the staff at the Office of Disability Services, (https://studentaffairs.baruch.cuny.edu/student-disability-services/).

FINAL EXAM Course assignments The course assignments consist of assignments and exams, individual and group projects (Excel and Access). The assignments will include writing components which will be graded separately. Students are expected to use proper spelling and correct grammar in their writing, as well as provide support for their arguments and findings. Exams Exams will consist of a combination of multiple choice, short essays and problemsolving questions. All exams will cover material from all aspects of the class sessions (lectures, software, demonstrations, discussions, videos, extra handouts and so forth). There will be two midterm examinations and one final examination. Students will have an opportunity to check their graded exams but the instructor retains all midterms and final exams. The final exam must be taken in the time slot posted in the college bulletin. Students must attend all exams as scheduled. Make up will be allowed in case of extraordinary circumstances only- students who cannot attend an exam must contact the instructor in advance and provide a written justification or documentation for their absence. No make-ups will be given for missed quizzes. Classroom Policy  Class attendance is an important element of the course, so make every effort to

attend. To avoid disruption, you should arrive to the classroom on time.  Any evidence of cheating in the attendance sign on sheet will be handled according to the academic integrity guidelines established by the College.  If you miss class, it is your responsibility to find out about any announcements or assignments you may have missed. It is not necessary to email the professor if you miss a class.  Students should refrain from engaging in any kind of disruptive behavior during class. Attendance and Participation Virtual attendance is expected at all class meetings. The College policy on attendance is strictly followed which means a "dropped course" notice is submitted to the Registrar for anyone who misses more than 4 classes. Sick days are excused upon presenting a

valid doctor’s note upon returning to class. Belated doctor’s notes will not be accepted. The course requires a steady commitment of time, both in terms of textbook reading, participation in class discussions, individual study and team work outside of class. Classroom discussions will generally focus on 3-5 topics from the textbook. ALL students are encouraged to participate in discussions every class. To earn your participation part of the final grade you must participate! Work Submission Standards If you are instructed to submit assignments through Blackboard’s assignment submission system or any other platform, then you must do so before the deadline specified. Late submissions will not be accepted. Hand-written work will not be acceptable and will earn no credit. As with any other academic submission, students must do their work carefully, striving to achieve high quality. This includes writing clearly, checking spelling and grammar, proofreading the submissions. Extensions may be granted for situations involving illness or personal emergencies. If you need an extension, you must request one in writing or via e-mail before the due date of an assignment. Note: Extensions will not be granted for problems related to use of home or workplace computer systems (please use the BCTC facilities to avoid such problems). Academic Integrity Statement The CIS Department fully supports Baruch College's policy on Academic Honesty, which states, in part: "Academic dishonesty is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Cheating, forgery, plagiarism and collusion in dishonest acts undermine the college's educational mission and the students' personal and intellectual growth. Baruch students are expected to bear individual responsibility for their work, to learn the rules and definitions that underlie the practice of academic integrity, and to uphold its ideals. Ignorance of the rules is not an acceptable excuse for disobeying them. Any student who attempts to compromise or devalue the academic process will be sanctioned. " Academic sanctions in this class will range from an F on the assignment to an F in this course. A report of suspected academic dishonesty will be sent to the Office of the Dean of Students. Additional information and definitions can be found at: http://www.baruch.cuny.edu/academic/academic_honesty.html On-line from the publisher via the Blackboard  Option 1 $75 Access Card and Loose Leaf textbook  Option 2 $60 Access Card only Baruch bookstore  Option 3 $102 Access Card and Loose Leaf textbook  Option 2 $80 Access Card only NOTE: e-Book is included in every option

Recording of Remote Classes: As is the case with many colleges and universities that have chosen online and distance learning modalities as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, faculty utilizing Zoom, Blackboard Collaborate and

other digital technology to deliver course curriculum/material must be sensitive to issues of privacy. To that end, faculty offering classes through web conferencing digital technology like Zoom must not record a student in a class session without the student’s consent. Similarly, CUNY discourages students from recording the sessions unless such recording is part of a reasonable accommodation under the law or is not prohibited by campus policy. To obtain consent, faculty who wish to record their class sessions must provide the following announcement, in emails, and/or class syllabus, to enrolled students and verbally at the opening of the first class session: Students who participate in this class with their camera on or use a profile image are agreeing to have their video or image recorded solely for the purpose of creating a record for students enrolled in the class to refer to, including those enrolled students who are unable to attend live. If you are unwilling to consent to have your profile or video image recorded, be sure to keep your camera off and do not use a profile image. Likewise, students who un-mute during class and participate orally are agreeing to have their voices recorded. If you are not willing to consent to have your voice recorded during class, you will need to keep your mute button activated and communicate exclusively using the "chat" feature, which allows students to type questions and comments live. As mentioned in the announcement, recording of classes is for the benefit of students. Faculty shall not use class recordings as a means of determining class attendance and are reminded that CUNY is classified by the U.S. Department of Education as a non-attendance taking institution. Doubts faculty may have regarding the identity of participants should be alleviated if faculty offer their classes through applications and resources that have been licensed by CUNY Central or their college and require a CUNY/College ID for login, thereby giving reasonable assurance that participants are CUNY students. For the avoidance of doubt, the prohibition on recording without consent does not apply to audio or video lectures of the faculty member only and that do not include a student participation component....
